North face of the Aga. I like freedom and fair play. No particular political leaning, all of them tell you what they think you want to know, tell lies then blame you when it all goes shit shaped.

A question. Like many in the UK I buy stuff from Amazon. Amazon is a US company that buys around 70% of its stock from China to fill its enormous warehouses. So what is going to happen to the prices we pay?

The only person Trump has employed recently who was both experienced and qualified was Stormy Daniels ๐Ÿ™„

If that is true it amounts to insider trading and is illegal!

Also of note is the Dow is down 5.5%, but Tesla, more than 10% in one day.

France used to do it a different way. They didn't want Japanese DVD players but it was illegal to stop them. So every player had to be inspected but unfortunately there was only one inspector, in Poitiers. Before long there was about 3 years backlog, all out of date!

Why would Denmark even want to talk to them? If someone knocked on my door wanting to buy my house, if I didn't want to sell it I would tell them to f*** off.

That I did not know but despite that I think the brand has been tainted due to the antics of the CEO

Well following Trumps imposition of a 25% import tariff on cars and the probability Europe will reciprocate Tesla shares are down 6% in the last few hours ๐Ÿ™„

What was twitter is now an endless stream of pro Trump and Musk propaganda, together with dozens of accounts of people being caught keying or vandalising Tesla cars. Someone is possibly a bit worried about his self infected bad reputation. He has not learned that wealth does not = wisdom.

Very sad that I used to travel extensively by train but it is now far too expensive. OK book 3 months ahead brings the cost down but you didn't know your sister or other loved one might be ill 3 months ago. 2 of you from Bristol to London is actually cheaper by taxi!

Yep. Down 50% in 2 months. Small investors must be crapping themselves

I have no idea if the car is better or worse value than the competition. I just know most people this side of the Atlantic would rather not drive anything associated with Musk.

Someone here might be able to help. I joined a few months ago largely because X is pretty dull and Eloncentric. However it seems this site is 90% American politics. I am not disinterested, but am I doing something wrong as it would be good to see a wider range of views ๐Ÿค”

And how many people will die following that absurd advice. Measles can and does kill. It was eradicated in the US until people decided not to have vaccinations.

Just wondering if the King of Saudi Arabia was invited to the White House do you think he would be asked if he owned a suit ๐Ÿค”

Scaremongering by people who should know better,despite the proven track record of the vaccines in some cases over 60 years, and who probably secretly had their own kids vaccinated

Not so far back measles was eradicated in the US. What went wrong ๐Ÿ˜•

Sales of Tesla are down 75% in Europe. There is plenty of choice from other manufacturers.

I posted a similar graph from another source. Musk has problems as his various enterprises are largely entwined, one relying on the presumed wealth of another

So, who is concerned that a foreign trillionair should be considering contributing around ยฃ100 million to a British political party? One wonders what he will want in return?

Yep. Yet to see one group of atheists slaughter another group of atheists because they disbelieve less!
